The Revival of Religion in the Eighteenth Century - John S. Simon - ebook

Author: Revival Library Books

£6.99

This book, being the published transcript of a formal lecture, is more descriptive, more analytical and less dramatic than many of the other texts on this site. It is in no way less valuable because of this. Readers wishing to understand the context in which to place the lives of Wesley, Whitefield, Nelson, the Countess of Huntingdon and their contemporaries could do worse than to start here.

The early chapters paint a painful picture of the darkness of the days in which these saints laboured, which throws their shining examples into brilliant relief.

The latter chapters provide one man's summary overview of the work of God in England (and to some extent Wales) during this period.

The detailed accounts of others' lives and works and teachings slot into it like the interior pieces in a jigsaw puzzle once the outer edges have been completed.
